The dhakatimes Story — From a Vision to Bangladesh's Leading Platform
Back in 2018, when dhakatimesstarted its journey, online betting platforms in Bangladesh were few and far between. Most were foreign-operated, offered no Bangla language support, had complicated payment options, and simply didn't understand the needs of local players.
Born to fill that gap dhakatimes-'s. Our founding team had one goal: to build a world-class betting platform for the people of Bangladesh — in their language, with their payment methods. Over the past seven years, we've kept that promise.
Our Journey So Far
Started out with just a few thousand members dhakatimes Today, with over 5 million registered players, dhakatimes is a platform for all of Bangladesh. From Dhaka to Chittagong, Sylhet to Barisal — people from every district across the country are now dhakatimesare playing with us. That growth isn't just a number — it's a reflection of the trust people place in us.
In our first year, we focused solely on cricket and football betting. From there, we gradually expanded to include Live Casino, Virtual Sports, and other games. Before adding each new feature, we gathered feedback from our users — because dhakatimes Always listens to its players.
"I joined dhakatimes back in 2019. A lot has changed on the platform since then — but one thing hasn't: Bengali-language support. For someone like me, that makes a real difference."
